Flying ✈️ - OAK ➡️ HNL ➡️ PPG - American Samoa 🌴 in 16 hours

I spent almost 16 hours flying from Oakland, California, first stopping in Honolulu, Hawaii, waiting around at HNL airport for 5 hours and then continuing onto Pago Pago, American Samoa (a small island in the south Pacific Ocean) to visit the final National Park on my journey throughout the USA and its extended territories.
I flew with Hawaiian Airlines for both flights. From OAK to HNL, I flew in an Airbus A321 - Neo and from HNL to PPG I got an Airbus A330-200.
The journey was exhaustive but worth it.
Then over the next 10 days, I spent half the time exploring around the island of Pago Pago in American Samoa 🇦🇸 and then returning back to Hawaii to explore the island of Kauai for the remainder of the trip.
Overall, it was a terrific experience and I am grateful for everything I encountered along the way.
There’s nothing like traveling around the world, being among nature and immersing myself in other cultures.
After the two flights for the day and eventually arriving in Pago Pago, I Vlogged every day over the next 10 days which I’ll post a recording about every couple weeks throughout the next few months.
Thanks for coming along.

1:32 “3-3” Airbus A321neo.

[@SethAugust]

Yes you’re right. I was anticipating flying an Airbus A330-200 which would have been 2-4-2 and better comfortability

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

@@SethAugustTheir A330’s are definitely more comfortable than their A321neos. However, it is time to a sad farewell to try A330’s because they are being replaced with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner,

[@SethAugust]

Wow I had no idea they’re retiring the A330’s, but excited to try the 787 Dreamliner. That’d be a great experience. Thanks for the info
